Weathering
Does weathering make material smaller or bigger?
What is smaller.
What are the different types of erosion? (5 types)
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!
What is wind, water, gravity, glaciers, waves.
What is one type of erosion created by wind?
What is another word for the layers of soil?
Horizons
Which process is the breaking down of material?
What is weathering.
What type of material does weathering break down?
What is rock/sediment.
Water
What is one landform created by glacial erosion?
Till
What nutrient-filled material makes soil a dark brown color?
Humus
What famous landform in the western United States was created by river erosion?
The Grand Canyon
What is Weathering?
What is the breaking down of material by chemical and physical processes.
What is erosion?
Erosion is the process by which sediment and other materials are moved from one place to another.
What is one form of wind deposition?
Sand Dunes
What ingredients are soil made of? (Both seen and unseen)
Weathered rocks/minerals, organic material, air, water
What subjects are the science interim going to be about?
What type of weathering is oxidation and acid rain?DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!!
Chemical Weathering
What does erosion cause streams to do?
They cause streams to widen and deepen
What two landforms are created by waves?
Beaches and Barrier Islands
There is less humus and bigger rock fragments.
What processes create the 3 types of rocks in the rock cycle? (Make sure you match them up properly!)
Igneous - Melting & Cooling
Metamorphic - Heat & Pressure
Sedimentary - WEDCC
Explain ice wedging.
When temperatures drop below freezing, water inside the cracks of rocks will freeze and expand, breaking down the rocks.
What kind of land forms does erosion create? (8 land forms) DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!
What are rivers, streams, waterfalls, flood plains, valleys, gullies, hoo doo's, and arches
How does deposition create new environments?
It builds up things from sand ice or soil and will also take away sediment from the ground to build things.
How is soil formed?
soil is formed from the weathering of rocks. It is made up mainly of mineral particles, organic materials, air, water and living organisms
